Ninebot Max G2
The MAX G2 is the previous-generation Segway commuter that established the template for the MAX G3. It remains relevant as clearance stock, but Segway Australia now identifies it as end of life.
Is the Segway Ninebot Max G2 worth considering?
Consider it only when the clearance saving is meaningful. It still offers useful range and established parts support, but buyers paying close to MAX G3 money should take the newer model.

Should you buy it?
Best suited to
Daily city commuters who want long real world range and a comfortable ride without stepping up to a heavy performance scooter. The Max G2 can be locked to 25 km/h in the Segway app for legal use where private e-scooters are allowed.
Standout strength
Class leading real world range for the price, self healing tubeless tyres and a smooth ride from a well proven brand with local support.
Main compromise
No dedicated suspension and, at over 24 kg, it is heavy to carry any distance.
Pros
- Established model with Australian parts support
- Strong estimated range for a commuter
- Lower clearance price than its successor
Cons
- Officially end of life
- Heavy at 24.3 kg
- Clearance availability can disappear without restocking
Check before buying. Confirm the 25 km/h speed limit setting with your retailer if you plan to ride where private e-scooters are legal.
